Did you buy Japanses Region 2 copy?? Because my HK 3 disk set works fine on my Toshiba player, and Region 0 coded.
I seen 2 first episodes, and its ok so far. Its little bit low budget, but the story is interesting, and there been some good fighting.
I will post my impressions, once I watch few more episodes.
Good luck with your dvd though.
